on my way home from school i found her in a showcase summer evening, the wind was cool caught me her very grace
i made up my mind swore by my teacup not to eat until my mother gives up for my red shoes
so i won my red shoes and walked around everywhere christmas time i held the firebrand blue hat in mayfair
big kangaroo in the zoo stopped saying coo hate all blues i love snooze yes i won't lose in my red shoes
but as is often the case chewing gum and all rainy day, muddy seashore sorry i was bold other shoes lookin' so good oh! this fickle boy one day she went away from my shoecase
years have passed now i'm at ease on a limousine seat wearing a dark brown suit and sunglasses so neat
but once in a while drinking a glass of Pernod i remember when i ran down on the snow in my red shoes
